What Mr. Liu took out was a large blue and white jar about 30 cm high, with a straight mouth, a short neck, a plump shoulder, a bulging belly, and a circle.

This large jar has a dignified and full shape, and is decorated with blue and white all over the body. However, the blue and white are lighter in color and gray-blue. It should be made of domestic blue materials.

The neck of the big jar is a common honeysuckle pattern, the shoulders are decorated with peony patterns, the abdomen is painted with moon-shaped pine, bamboo and plum patterns, and the foot is surrounded by a circle of deformed lotus petal patterns.

From the perspective of layout, these patterns adopt a three-section layout method of shoulders, abdomen and foot. Judging from the characteristics of the patterns, although the painting technique is a little rough and the processing of several details is not so fine, after careful reading, you can still feel a heavy and ancient and clumsy atmosphere.

Li Yi first observed these wholes, and then carefully observed the cloud-qi patterns drawn on the belly of the large jar. He found that it was a method of drawing thick outer lines and thin inner lines widely used during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. After a preliminary judgment, this may be a piece of blue and white porcelain from the late Xuande period.

In addition, the glaze color of this large jar is white and blue, and it is slightly water-green at the edge of the mouth. All of this is in line with the characteristics of the artifacts during the Xuande period.

With a rough judgment, Li Yi began to observe the body of the big jar, but when he leaned the big jar and tried to see the pattern left at the ring foot, he was startled by the two lines of blue and white six-character models appearing in his sight. I'll do it, if this is true, this piece of porcelain will be precious!

What scared him was the six blue and white regular characters "Made in Daming Tian Shun Nian".

As we all know, in the history of Chinese porcelain, there was a famous "blank period" that lasted for 29 years. The so-called blank period does not mean that there is no porcelain fired at all, but that until now, no porcelain with the official kiln year-old style fired during this period has been found in the world!

This blank period refers to the orthodox dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Jingtai and Tianshun.

Once, many industry insiders believed that most of the porcelain fired in the "blank period" were folk kiln products and there were no official kilns.

But later, some historical documents show that these three dynasties did not fire official kiln porcelain, but because the domestic politics and economy were relatively turbulent at that time. Therefore, the quality and quantity of porcelain fired in these three dynasties were much lower than that of Yong and Xuan period, which caused the scarcity of handed down products.

Moreover, it is likely that there are frequent conflicts within the royal family due to the throne. Therefore, the porcelain produced in the official kiln is inconvenient to write the year mark. Therefore, almost no logo is left behind, whether it is a fine or ordinary product.

In Li Yi's memory, it seems that some people have found that there are two lines and six-character ancient Ming porcelains that are made of "Da Mingtian Shunen" or "Da Mingtian Shunen" and later they are verified one by one. These are all imitations from the late Ming Dynasty. Although the blue and white furnace "Made in the Seventh Year of Tianshun Datong Ma" collected by the Xishan Provincial Museum is indeed a porcelain made from the Tianshun period, the text is not regular, and it is obviously produced by a folk kiln.

Therefore, he subconsciously thought that this should be a late Ming Dynasty imitation, but then he thought, if it were just like this, Mr. Liu would not have to be so serious, then...

He carefully observed several important places such as the body, glaze, patterns, etc. of the large jar, and found that there was no way to judge the details, so he decisively turned on the spiritual appraisal card.

A cold current flowed into the body along his fingers. Li Yi also saw the identification conclusion given by the Spirit Card at the first time. He raised his eyebrows and the surprise in his eyes flashed. This was actually a genuine official kiln porcelain from Tianshunchao!

"Old Liu, this piece of porcelain seems a bit strange."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi said while rubbing his chin.

"Oh? Where is the weirdness?"

"This large pot of blue and white porcelain with moon-shaped pine, bamboo and plum patterns, regardless of the shape, body glaze, pattern and blue and white color, obviously has the characteristics of blank porcelain. But this pattern... is it really a Tianshun Dynasty official kiln porcelain with style?"

Although the Jianling Card confirmed the authenticity of the porcelain, as the first blank official kiln porcelain found to be found, it is not easy to prove its identity. The difficulty must be above the Yongle blue and white jar he got before.

Therefore, Li Yi could only express his thoughts in a guessing tone.

"You feel this way, too?"

Hearing Li Yi say this, Mr. Liu nodded. This porcelain was purchased by an extremely accidental opportunity a few years ago from a friend. At that time, they completed the transaction at the price of imitation of blank porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty. However, later, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it might be genuine official kiln porcelain in the blank period. Moreover, Zhou Mofeng, his old friend, the authoritative porcelain identification, had the same idea as him.

However, like Li Yi, it is one thing to recognize it, and it is another thing to find evidence to support it and make everyone admit it. Specifically for this large blue and white jar, if there is no similar porcelain found, but there is a clearly inherited porcelain, then it is almost impossible to justify it.

Moreover, Mr. Liu, Zhou Mofeng and others are different from Li Yi. Because of the spirit-tapping card, Li Yi is very sure that this is a real official kiln porcelain from the Tianshun period. Their current judgment can only be said to be a kind of suspicion.

Therefore, since he met Li Yi last time and confirmed that he was the kind of genius appraiser with terrifying keen intuition, Mr. Liu had an idea that he wanted Li Yi to see this porcelain.

If, in the end, Li Yi could identify that this porcelain was indeed the official kiln porcelain with the style from the Tianshun period based on his terrifying intuition that had been proven to be almost 100% correct in other objects, then they could also strengthen their confidence.

Although this confidence is not supported by any scientific basis, it is still impossible to announce the true identity of this porcelain, at least in the future, when studying this aspect, you can find the right direction more accurately and firmly.

"Although I do think this may be a piece of official kiln porcelain with styles from the Tianshun period, Mr. Liu, judging from the current situation, unless a large number of similar porcelains are found in ancient tombs or ancient kiln sites, I guess no one dares to draw a conclusion..."

Mr. Liu nodded again and stood up from the stone bench.

"The joy of antiques is not just about verifying the true nature and finding the history to gain everyone's recognition. Many times, we collectors are just having fun! Okay, since you have passed the test, then I have to fulfill my promise and be rewarded!"

Seeing the smile on Li Yi's face, Old Liu smiled and shook his head.

"I'm happy to hear that there is a reward? But I have to tell you in advance that you can only see this reward, but you can't take it away, because it is so precious!"

So precious? Li Yi's interest was picked up at once. It was something that could be judged by everyone at the level of Mr. Liu as too precious. It would definitely open his eyes and be absolutely worth looking forward to!

But, what good thing would it be?

He shook his head, it was hard to guess, the scope was too wide.

Unlike Li Yi's confusion, Zhong Haoqing, who had not spoken for a while, had already guessed what Mr. Liu was talking about because he was not good at porcelain.

"Old Liu!"

Seeing her a little excited, Old Liu smiled and waved his hand.

"Zhong Yatou, speaking of it, you still have the light of your apprentice!"

Hearing this, Zhong Haoqing immediately knew that she guessed it right, and couldn't help but slap her excitedly.

"Ha, now, I can finally see the manuscript left by Mr. Shirashi! I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"

Li Yi was also a little excited when he heard Zhong Haoqing say that the reward Liu Lao was actually the manuscript left by Qi Baishi. When he had not learned calligraphy and painting before, he just knew how to appreciate it, but since his ink painting level reached the level of entering the hall, he realized that if he could often see the original works of calligraphy and paintings of master figures, it would be a great help to improve his level.

However, to his surprise, what Mr. Liu took out was not calligraphy and painting, but two leather notebooks that looked very historical. This is...

"It's not that I'm a treasure, but these two notes can't stand the troubles of too many people. However, I also know that Xiao Li learns to paint. With his qualifications, I think it's really necessary to let him see it, because here not only records some of the past events of Mr. Bai Shi, but also some of his experiences in painting."

When Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the two notebooks actually recorded the many experiences of Mr. Bai Shi's paintings.

Although he has been taking time to practice calligraphy and Chinese painting every day for a while, I don’t know if it is because he has reached a bottleneck or because there are too many things to be quiet. Anyway, his level is not only no longer as rapid as before, but he even feels a little stagnant.

Neither Zhong Haoqing nor Hu Jinquan could solve this problem. He could only think that he had entered a relatively stable accumulation period, but Li Yi always felt that he should have the ability to go further, but he needed an opportunity.

And these two notebooks are likely to be his opportunity to break through!

Carefully took a note from Mr. Liu, Li Yi returned to the stone bench he had just sat on and looked at it carefully.

This should be an ordinary handmade cowhide notebook. Because it has become a dark black color, so the handwriting on it is a bit difficult to see clearly.

"Your book is written by Caotang Zizhen, and your master's book is written by time. These two books are two left by Mr. Bai Shi with more experiences. Although there are a few others, most of them are recorded in trivial matters and the creation era of some works, which should not be of much help to you."

Hearing Mr. Liu's explanation, Li Yi carefully identified the handwriting on the cover, and then habitually turned on the spiritual appraisal card.

Without the cold air flowing in, the identification conclusion of the Jianling Card is also normal. This is an ordinary notebook left by Mr. Bai Shi.

However, because of the existence of perspective, Li Yi saw at a glance that there was a small yellowed note in the cowhide cover of this notebook! (To be continued.)
